I guess being a PT is fine if you're a chick or something, but a man should study a trade like carpentry, bricklaying, fabrication (welding), plumbing, electrician, HVAC, etc.

Most PTs I've met are complete beta *******s too - the pay is also terrible and I don't understand how people make a living as PTs, especially here in Sydney. They must sell drugs/steroids on the side IMO.
I have friend who is a pro wrestler and he became a PT and I saw him doing it at the gym. He teaches people how to actually lift. Meanwhile, all others I've observed teach everything but lifting.

They string people along having the run around in tape squares on the floor and doing all of this stuff that's never going to get results.

It's what people get for not doing their own research.

Same reason people spend their money and life on drugs like ******* - fleeting feel good feelings of control, etc.
